"If you are brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello."

Jer's sister has decided to ditch the cold temperatures and move out on her own to the Sunshine State. She is packing up and starting a whole new exciting adventure.Before she leaves in two weeks, friends and family gathered at her uncle's bar to bid her farewell.Some things to keep in mind when living on your own for the first time:

Good Luck. We will miss you but so proud of you for taking a huge step and wish you nothing but success and happiness. Go get 'em girl!
